Getting Better All The Time

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that the week following the third Sunday in June is when I write about my annual Father’s Day Weekend Camp out…this week is no exception. My best friend and I treated our wives to a guy-free weekend at home while we and our sons:

*Watched the full moon rise from a hilltop near Malabar Farm on Friday night.
*Kayaked the Clear Fork River.
*Fished a couple of ponds at the farm (to no avail.)
*Gigged for frogs at a couple of other ponds (results below.)
*Had frog legs & scrambled eggs for breakfast.
*Hiked and climbed to the top of Big Lyons Falls at Mohican State Park.

With the exception of watching the full moon rise (and maybe the unsuccessful fishing expedition), NONE of this would ever have happened when we started this tradition nine years ago with two six-year olds and a four-year old. It’s hard to believe that, now that our whole party pretty much passes the height/weight requirements, we’re looking for a campground with zip lining nearby for our 10th annual camp out next year. It looks like my fear of heights is going to be confronted by my fear of being ridiculed by my teenage sons. I’ll be sure to keep you posted on which one wins out.

As time passes, we all have to “step up our game”…I’ve heard it said that if you’re not constantly improving on what you do, you’re actually getting worse, because it’s a given that others ARE improving on what they do, and it’s going to leave you in the dust, even if you are just as good as you were yesterday.

cc optionsEXAIR Cabinet Cooler Systems are a prime example…over the years, we’ve gone from two sizes (1,700 and 2,000 BTU/hr) to nine (from 550 to 5,600 BTU/hr). To the original NEMA 12 (oil tight/dust tight, indoor duty) rated systems, we’ve added NEMA 4 (splash resistant, indoor/outdoor) and NEMA 4X (corrosion resistant, indoor/outdoor), so our Cabinet Cooler Systems are suitable for installation just about anywhere your enclosures might be.

High Temperature options are available for installation in areas with ambient temperatures up to 200°F (93°C). Non-Hazardous Purge systems maintain a slight positive air pressure to prevent internal contamination of enclosures located in particularly dirty surroundings. 316SS construction systems are available when the higher alloy is specified for food service, pharmaceutical, or particularly harsh/corrosive environments.

Oh, and all of these multiple-award-winning products are in stock and ready to ship today.  If you’d like to see if an EXAIR Cabinet Cooler System is the solution to your electric/electronic enclosure heat problems, give us a call.  We’ll even throw in a free AC Sensor if you order before the end of July.

Office Rule #1

Today I was smacked in the face with the reminder of many applications I have helped customers with over the years.  As I walked through the door into our lunch room I was hit in the face with a very strong odor. This is why Office Rule #1 is, “DO NOT microwave fish in a common area microwave.” The odor was microwaved fish.  Now it doesn’t matter who cooked the fish, all that mattered was it had not only worked its’ way through the kitchen but also the entire office and then it was being vented into our manufacturing area.   Needless to say, the force was strong with this one.   That is when I was reminded of the fume evacuation applications I have done through the years.

Air Amplifier Removing Welding Fumes

If only we had a windows that opened, we could have used an EXAIR Super Air Amplifier to quickly and efficiently evacuated the air out of the kitchen area. I have helped many of my customers evacuate fumes from anything from a mining shafts to welding fumes. Using a small amount of compressed air the Super Air Amplifiers move large volumes of air. Super Air Amplifiers are also effective for moving large volumes of air for cooling and blow off applications.

Have a cooling, blowoff, or evacuation application? Call our application engineers and they will help you select the appropriate model air amplifier.
